Emmet County Animal Shelter

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

Meet Sue

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This gorgeous gal Momma Sue.  She is a pure bred Australin shepherd.  You may remember her from the video of the night she was rescued?  She had been at large for months and the efforts to secure her were not working.  Then during the first ice storm of the season someone found her puppies and the rest is history.  Her pups have all gone to their forever homes and are doing amazing.  Now its time for Sue to find her forever home.  After her pups left the nest, Sue moved on to a foster home as well.  She was so sad to be all alone in the puppy room with no one to play with.  Her foster has other dogs and cats and Sue does great with all of them.  Sue is about 2 years old, loving and affectionate with her humans.  She is kennel trained and house trained and loves to snuggle on the couch. She is learning to play with toys and is still pretty scared of new things but with time and patience she will continue to learn that people care about her and are safe.  She would do best in a home with other dogs and older kids. She does prefer women but she is ok with men.  Sue is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  Her adoption fee is $275.00
